Today we learned about the basics of DNA.
DNA stores and transmits genetic information which is contained in the nitrogen bases. The most common nitrogen bases are adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine (A, C, G, T). The sequences of the bases carry the genetic information
eg. 5-A-T-G-C-T-A-3 this sequence of bases helps determine what kind of information is carried
Essential Questions
What is a gene?
A gene is a piece of information that is coded by your DNA.
What is a genome?
A genome is all the genes an organism has.
